GT-R SPECIFIC VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS COOLANT MIXTURE RATIO For maximum cooling system performance, the coolant mixture ratio should be the combination of 30% antifreeze and 70% demineralized or distilled water. If ambient temperatures are anticipated below 58F (−158C), make sure a proper mixture ratio of 50% antifreeze and 50% demineralized or distilled water mix is used. REFUELING PRECAUTIONS malfunction. The smell will go away when the fuel temperature has cooled. WARNING Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire. The fuel tank is full at the first automatic shutoff. To maximize vehicle performance, the fuel tank is located as low as possible to lower the vehicle center of gravity. The tank is also divided into two parts. This fuel tank design causes higher pressures inside the tank than other vehicles so fuel spillage is possible by trying to top off the fuel tank after automatic shutoff. OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE DISPLAY INDICATES HIGHER TEMPERATURE Heat from the engine compartment, radiator and intercoolers can affect the outside temperature display. The outside temperature display may indicate a higher than actual temperature while driving or stopped. This is normal. COOL DOWN Cool down the vehicle to help extend the life of the vehicle if coolant temperatures are extremely high. Drive the vehicle at 37 to 50 MPH (60 to 80 km/h), in 5th or 6th gear for 2 to 3 miles (3 to 5 km) and then stop the engine. IDLE SPEED IS NOT STEADY The idle speed may not be steady when the engine compartment is extremely hot. This is normal. The engine speed will be steady when the engine cools down. In this case, the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) may come on. After a few driving trips, the MIL should turn off. If the light remains on after a few driving trips, have the vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer. REFUELING STOPS BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL The fuel tank pressure is higher when the vehicle is hot. If the vehicle is refueled when the vehicle is hot, the fuel pump may automatically shut off before the tank is full. This does not indicate that there is a malfunction. This will not happen after the vehicle has cooled. ENGINE SPEED IS RESTRICTED To help protect the engine, the maximum engine speed is automatically controlled in the following conditions: . P N & or & position: The maximum engine GASOLINE SMELL The fuel temperature is higher when the vehicle is hot. This may cause a gasoline smell from the vehicle. This does not indicate that there is a Revving the engine with the shift lever in the speed is 5,000 RPM . Revving the engine when the engine coolant GT-R Overview GTR-7
